Light rain began falling in Richmond this evening as snow began again to the north and west.
Richmond's precipitation could include some sleet overnight before turning into snow about daybreak Wednesday. About 1 to 2 inches of snow could fall by mid-day.
Northern Virginia, which got more than two feet of snow this past weekend, could get 7 to 14 inches by the end of Wednesday, the weather service said.
Light snow was falling this evening in Northern Virginia. To the west, Highland County had nearly 2 inches by this afternoon and Rockbridge County had 1½.
"Be thankful you’re down here," said Wayne Albright, a weather service meteorologist in Wakefield.
The Richmond region also could see wind gusts up to about 40 mph on Wednesday.
"Tomorrow is going to be more wintry," Albright said.
So far this season, 24.7 inches of snow have fallen at Richmond International Airport. That is the most snow since the region got 28.3 inches in 1995-96 and the fourth highest total in the past 30 years.
This has been the region's 16th snowiest winter since records began in 1897-98.
